NotSoBigBen Posted November 21, 2008 Share Achtung babies! Yip am somewhat beaten up will be fine. Just waiting to go into theatre to have the stitches then it's healing time .......

Anyone notice I fell so hard my hair came off huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaulter1 Posted November 21, 2008 Share O.K. so - names to pics please. I obviously did not do anything flashy enuf or look like I needed my pic taken. That's me landing the drop with the full-face on(real name is Travis by the way). Had a great time in the park but I REALLY hope there's a bit more signage up before public opening. The drops and small gaps are fun if you've got speed and know they're coming but I fear there may be some "non-hubber weekend-warriors" that are taken by surprise and slowdown/stop at the wrong moments. @BigBen: Saw the damage back at the clubhouse and it looked damn sore. Hope you heal up quickly. Where did the fall happen (if you remember )?vaulter12008-11-21 03:06:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDEE Posted November 21, 2008 Share Great to hear. Read the other reports on the other thread as well. Although he was laughing and joking yesterday, it looked very, very eina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog_ Posted November 21, 2008 Share Had a great time in the park but I REALLY hope there's a bit more signage up before public opening. That is the plan apparently. Geoff wasn't too keen on letting us ride in the first place because all the signage wasn't up yet. Either way I think I'll set up an icepack, stretcher and ambulance service tomorrow. I'll make a KILLING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jump is called the Rim Reaper, it's a small detour out of Sidewinder. I hit it with plenty of speed my first time at the park, only realised there's a gap when I looked down in mid air.
